Morning Ladies
Day 3 of progesterone part of Evorel and I'm really struggling again. I looked back to what I wrote last month when I replied to someone else's message and I had reported a cracking headache and upset stomach, and I'm exactly the same again
The first month of Evorel Sequi was bearable, but this month seems harder. In the oestrogen part I had nausea, I definitely don't feel it's supporting me as well downstairs, or in my overall mood. I feel a lot more down and a lot less me, more mood swings. Disturbed sleep too.
Am I right in thinking maybe it's not enough oestrogen? I changed over from Femoston 2/10 after a good year but a step up in headaches again (my nemesis)..even though there was less of a contrast, I actually felt better in the progesterone part of that tablet! The reason for the change was to see whether my symptoms were reduced on a patch rather than a pill.
If my headaches had increased on the Femoston, AND I still don't feel I have enough oestrogen on Evorel Sequi, what next? I really think my GP is going to lose patience with me. I tried Utrogestan and a separate oestrogen patch but I just felt rough. I did ask him last time we spoke about adding a pump of oestrogel on top of Femoston but he wasn't keen as it was away from the norm. I respect him as he explained why he can't just prescribe things against the guidelines.
I was hoping not to have to go down the private specialist route but maybe that's what it needs..
Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom please??
